Question: Ya'll read our news and blog posts?

Just trying to figure out how to get more participation on our blog. How many folks subscribe to our RSS feed? How many check it for updates before going directly to our forums? Do you check out our Action Alerts?

What would you like to see from us in order to spark some more participation?

Thanks!

I usually browse right to the forums, and subscribe to the news via RSS.

I do keep track of the blog, but I think the forums are a more natural place to discuss things.

Hmmm...what about an area of the forum to discuss the blog posts, action alerts, and so forth? Create a new thread when there's a new post, then link to the thread from the post.

(I wouldn't mind some form of RSS feed on the forums, either, but that's not a real big deal one way or the other.)

ya if every blog post was automatically a forum post and every comment on the blog was a post on the forum as well that might help cross pollinate the traffic (is that an appropriate word)

that being said i read the blog but generally don't comment on it

I never looked at it.

Its hidden up there, move it out from news to the top navigation bar.

Also in our "Quick Links" section on our home page. Maybe We'll make a separate button for it. Thanks for the suggestion.

It would be nice to have a RSS feed for the message boards as well.
